Today around midday I got a call from 02045376784. When I answered, it was just a recorded message about housing repairs. Seemed a bit dodgy to me, like some kind of scam. Has anyone else had a ring from this number?

Just got a call around 6pm from an unknown number. Normally, I don’t pick up calls from numbers I don’t recognise, and this time was no different – glad I didn’t! Cheers to everyone for the heads up, I’ll be blocking it now.

These scam calls, texts, and emails won't get sorted if people dont actually report them to the authorities. Make sure you report every single scam you get so they can try to put a stop to it! If you want to know how, just google '7726' or send details to '[email protected]'.

Got a call from some overseas call centre, voice sounded all off. Just blocked it right away. Seriously, what’s the point in them even trying?

Got a call from a number I didn’t recognise, so I just let it ring out.

Got a call from a number claiming to be Nationwide, saying there's an issue with a direct debit. I don’t even have an account with them! Just looks like a scam to trick you into giving away your info. Watch out and don’t ring back.

Just got a call from someone called Danny, said it was about a housing issue.

I don’t pick up if I don’t know the number, real people usually leave a voicemail. There was no message left and they weren't after ‘hug life’ or whatever some others are saying. So, I just blocked the number.

Be aware of the Ancient Housing Disrepair con - it's a common scam now. You can find info on that one easily. Also, if you want to report scams, search for '7726' and the email '[email protected]' to get the right contacts. Don’t forget to look up 'voice cloning fraud' and ‘yes scams’ too, since a lot of scam calls are using AI voices these days. It’s important to understand how these scams operate so you can steer clear of them. I used to post a quick summary here but the website stopped me from copying and pasting that info, which is frustrating. What used to be a quick read here has turned into a massive slog through loads of other sites!

The phone showed it was probably a scam, so I just let it ring out without picking up.

Got a robocall but no voicemail was left after it got filtered by Google.

I got a call from this number earlier and my phone showed it as likely spam, so I didn’t pick up. The call ended quickly and there was no message left. Looking it up here, it looks like it might be a scam. I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number and reported it.

Got a call from a woman with a strong accent claiming to be from EE, her English was pretty bad. I just ended the call and blocked the number straight away, seemed like a scam to me.

Got a call but no voicemail left behind. Usually, genuine people leave messages, so it’s wise to ignore calls coming out of the blue. I looked it up online and found out that calls with silence or where they disconnect as soon as you reply are often tests. They’re checking if the number is live and if the person sounds older or unsure. Simply picking up and talking might put you on a scammers’ list of active numbers, and if you seem easy to fool, you might get targeted more frequently.

I tried answering, but they just cut the call straight away.

I just saw a number I didn’t recognise and decided to block it straight away!

These people are fraudsters trying to get your bank info!! The cops really should do something about it!!

I tried ringing back after I missed the call, but it told me I’d dialled a wrong number. That’s typically a red flag for a scam, if you ask me.

I ignored it and hung up, this number called me twice in a row, and there’s also a close one 0161 568 1964 that’s been bothering me too.

I tried to pick up but they hung up on me right away.

Complete rubbish as a scammer. Might trick a few folks though.

Got a call from someone claiming to be from EE. They said they would cut my bill in half but had no idea what I was currently paying. Then asked for my email, which I refused to give. Felt like a scam so I told them off, and they just hung up.

I picked up the phone and could hear loads of people chatting away in the background. It was pretty annoying so I just ended the call and blocked the number straight away.
